Oak Grove vs. Piedmont Hills in final

Piedmont Hills squeaked out a 46-42 double overtime win against Carlmont, and Oak Grove pulled away from Bellarmine for a 61-48 win.

Now, the boys CCS Division I final is set for Saturday at Leavey Center (8 p.m.) between Mt. Hamilton Division rivals who have split their two games this season.

Since losing to Piedmont Hills, 63-62, on Jan. 3, Oak Grove has mostly routed the opposition. Only two of its past 16 games have been decided by single digits. The closest was a 50-45 win over Leigh on Feb. 9.

Oak Grove clearly is a step above last season’s team. But many, including myself, are eager to find out how good the Eagles actually are and we may not find that out until later.

We’ll see what Piedmont Hills can do against them on Saturday, but the true tests may come against the likes of McClymonds or Monte Vista in NorCal play.
